Li-An Delos Reyes, of St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, asked for $120,000 for 20% of Milksta Moms Inc, which sells breastfeeding-friendly coffee and tea lattes infused with moringa, a milk-boosting plant, under the Milksta Brew line. The drinks are decaf and vegan-friendly, cost about $7 US to produce per bag, and sell for $19.90. The company had done about $600,000 in sales over 18 months since launching in January 2019, all online with no advertising spend, and Li-An projected $1 million in revenue if she could get into retail, which is what she needed the investment for.
Jim Treliving and Lane Merrifield went out, citing lack of retail expertise to add. Vincenzo Guzzo offered $250,000 for 35% but was declined as too much equity. Manjit Minhas offered $120,000 for 25%, Arlene Dickinson offered $120,000 for 20% as asked, and Michele Romanow matched the offer before stepping back to avoid a three-way split. Li-An accepted Manjit Minhas's offer of $120,000 for 25%.
